HIKROBOT MV-CU060-10GC V2 — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, GigE, Color, 19.1 fps
Bringing 6 MP color imaging to the cost-effective CU series GigE body, the MV-CU060-10GC V2 uses a 1/1.8″ Sony IMX178 rolling-shutter CMOS to produce 3072 × 2048 at 19.1 fps in Bayer RG 8. Despite 2.4 μm × 2.4 μm pixels it retains 41.3 dB SNR and 71.3 dB dynamic range, and its 0–24 dB gain with a 52 μs to 10 s exposure range adapts to varied lighting. Storage temperature is rated from –30 °C to 80 °C and working temperature from 0 °C to 50 °C.
The camera connects through a 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet port, is backward compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet and needs no repeater up to 100 m; it draws a typical 1.7 W at 12 VDC from a 9–24 VDC supply or optional PoE. Over the 6-pin P7 connector it offers one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional non-isolated I/O line, with hardware/software trigger and free-run supported. GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance allows use with third-party software; the 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount housing weighs about 100 g and is rated IP30.

Where it is used
This color model is used on medium-speed lines where product color and surface pattern are the decision criteria: label and cap color matching in cosmetics and food packaging, color deviation detection on injection-molded plastics, and verification of colored components and connectors on electronic boards. Exposure up to 10 s allows stationary samples to be imaged in low light, while the wide dynamic range reduces detail loss in assemblies that mix bright metal with dark plastic in one frame. Color-based sorting tasks such as agricultural produce and seed grading also benefit from the 6 MP resolution.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
